Mini hydros

Delta Electricity has hydro-electricity plants at Mt Piper and Chichester Dam and Dungog Water Treatment Plant, which are operated by Hunter Water. We have also won the right to build hydro systems on dams managed by State Water at Glennies Creek, Lostock, Brogo and Windamere.

The energy produced at Mt Piper hydro is sold under the SEDA (Sustainable Energy Development Authority) approved Greenpower scheme. Chichester Hydro produces Renewable Energy Certificates accredited by the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator (ORER).

The prolonged drought has limited the production of electricity from these hydro plants.
